Good comments! We will investigate how to add cloud "flows".

If the radar image can be overlayed on the clouds, then I would be happy with real time observation of actual precipitation/water in out atmosphere within cloud layers, all while moving in as real time as possible. (every 3 hour update from satellite).

Actual camera images from ISS, do not show actual water/precipitation, only cloud layer and lightning, although breathtaking, I prefer diagnostic views, such as the Real Time US Composite http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/us_comp/us_comp.html or 24 hour weather satellite loop http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/us_comp/us_comp.html or many others to choose from NOAA or NASA.

I find it very interesting to observe our living breathing planet in real time from space, with added diagnostics, such as radar images.

Maybe I should take meteorology in a college course or something, but trying to figure out our place in space and how our weather patterns behave, have always fascinated me, as well as E=MC_2, which dictates that the spin of matter at two times or more it's ability to move around itself, creates energy, some we see, some we can't, and all the implications of which are still being discussed and no real conclusions have come about from it, so it keeps you thinking about what if.

Hope that satisfies your curiosity about my curiosity with clouds.

Also playing around with Google Earth, with cloud layer and radar image,
works well, but uses too many resources to be as practical as DeskTop Earth

We are checking how to hande this.

It seems you are very interested in the clouds - what is the reason?

Still no clouds, although you say this comment is completed. Name is no longer US Weather Radar w/clouds, now, US Weather Radar w/o clouds.
